About The Position

At Avanquest, we build software that makes digital life genuinely easier, for everyday users and professionals alike, all over the world. Smooth document management, faster and safer devices, and browsing without the hassle: we spot the everyday frustrations and fix them. Millions of people around the world count on us. And we're just getting started.
We're growing fast, and we're hungry for more. With teams across North America and Europe, we tap into a wide range of perspectives to push our thinking further. AI isn't a buzzword here, it's a real engine for change. We use it to sharpen our products, break new ground, and build experiences that actually move the needle.
Creativity and boldness are welcome at every level. We don't want order-takers, we want builders. The best idea wins, no matter who it comes from. Here, personal ambition and team spirit don't compete, they feed each other. If you want to stretch yourself, make a real impact, and win as a team, you're in the right place.

Requirements

• You've led the design and delivery of commerce and/or enterprise platforms at scale, equally comfortable setting strategy and getting hands-on with the architecture.
• Real command of modern commerce: composable/headless commerce, subscription and billing systems, payments, identity/IAM, and API-first integration patterns.
• You know when to buy, when to build, and how to integrate, and you've modernized existing systems without breaking the business or losing the people who ran them.
• You actively use modern AI tooling to change how your team works, not just what it ships.
• You build small, accountable teams, develop existing talent as readily as you recruit, and prefer automation and leverage to large org charts.

Nice To Haves

• Bilingualism is an asset: Avanquest works in both French and English; comfort in both is a plus, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Lead the transition to a next-generation commerce and enterprise platform: composable/headless commerce, subscriptions and billing, identity and access management, and the integration layer that ties it all together — adopting, building, and integrating with equal skill.
• Set the target architecture: clean, API-first, and modular, for how Avanquest transacts, bills, and manages its customers and partners across B2C and B2B.
• Roll out the new platform incrementally and migrate existing systems on a credible timeline, with no disruption to the business and no big-bang cutover.
• Develop and mentor the experienced colleagues who built today's platforms and bring them into the new architecture, while adding the new talent you need.
• Give the brand, growth, and revenue teams self-serve foundations they can build on fast, without routing everything through a central queue.
• Embed AI into how your team designs, builds, tests, and operates the platform — to raise impact per person rather than headcount.

Benefits

• A flexible hybrid work model, with the option to work remotely from abroad.
• Competitive pay that recognizes your value and your talent.
• A full insurance package for you and your family.
• A bonus program that rewards your performance and your drive.
• A generous vacation and time-off policy, because we believe in real rest.
• We're committed to growing your potential and investing in your professional development.
• A stimulating, diverse, and multicultural environment where every perspective counts.
